Ok this is a recipe I got from Dellalo.com Their recipe was for Rice pudding and strawberries but I just used the Rice pudding part Plus made a few alterations because the measurements they gave for the liquids weren't enough and left the rice a bit tough still.
Rice pudding should be creamy, sweet, and soft.
It's also a nice cheap treat for those of us who are watching our cash flow.
You'll need:
3 cups of whole milk
6 tablespoons of sugar
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 cup of arborio rice
Note: You can pretty much use any kind of rice but I think Arborio helps make the pudding creamier.
Pinch of salt
1-1 1/2 cups of water
In a pot bring water and milk to a boil. Add all the other ingredients and cook for about forty minutes. Stir frequently or you'll end up with the milk burnt and stuck to the bottom of the pan....which I might add from experience is NOT fun to clean! Also watch the pudding cook, if it seems the rice is still too tough and there's little liquid left add a tiny bit more of milk to it. Also adjust the taste of the sugar if it seems to not be sweet enough.
To check if it's done just taste a little bit of it, it should be creamy and the rice nice and soft maybe even close to mushy if you prefer it that way.
For fun half way through add some raisins and let them cook with the pudding. It'll add some extra flavor to it.
If serving at a little get together put them in their own small individual serving dishes and sprinkle cinnamon on top : )
Hope you give this a try!
